1. Examine the report by taking note of patterns in order to consider how best to act on the feedback your students
have taken the time to provide. Use the reflection section at the end to reflect upon how you might act on the
feedback.
2. These evaluations stem from student perception and thus constitute one source of evidence among others as to
the quality of your teaching. Any response to the feedback should be based on the most representative results
rather than on outlying responses.
3. Upon getting a general sense as to what has gone well, and which areas may require attention and
improvement, it is important to drill down to the related questions. These questions can help guide future action
if feedback from students suggest areas for improvement.
4. Keep both the likert scale and written comments in mind while reading through the report. High scores (4+)
suggest student consensus indicating a strength. On the other hand, low scores (2-) should be considered as
an area that requires immediate developmental focus based on student feedback.
